encoding error

  1. K

    An encoder error occurred while streaming. Cannot identify the cause.

    I recently acquired a 7900 xt about a week ago and for a time it was working just fine while using the AMD HW H.264 (AVC) encoder option. I don't think AMD's encoder is particularly flattering to the footage at the lower bitrates that Twitch requests, so I decided I wanted to give quicksync a...

    Safe to update NVIDIA Graphics Drivers?

    Hey, I lately had an issue with obs not recording every time, and rolling back the latest NVIDIA drivers fixed the issue, although I have since forgotten which was the bugged driver version. Would someone kindly let me know the driver version they had issues with, and if it is safe for me to...

    OBS Replay stops Randomly with "Unknown Error"

    The OBS Replay Function Works fine most of the time, however every 1 or 2 hours the recording crashes and cant be restarted until OBS is completely closed and reopened. This does not happen when sitting idly on the desktop. Apparently some kind of significant 3d accellerated workload is needed...

    Encoding Overloaded

    This occurs every time while recording VALORANT. My FPS in-game is stable at around 200 FPS, but as soon as I try to record the "Encoder Overloaded!" error pops up. I've tried switching from AVC to x264 but not much changes. I've also switched from mp4 to mkv but that doesn't help either. I am...

    Screen recording (no streaming) Video randomly freezes

    I've been using OBS to record youtube tutorials. I don't use any streaming, just for local recording. Consistently I've been experiencing that the videos will have spots about every 2-3 minutes where the video will freeze, audio continues, for 5-10 seconds and then resume. I've checked the...

    For the past month I've been getting this error while streaming. The only way to resume streaming was to relaunch the program only to happen again. It started happening sometime after updating the OBS and Nvidia Driver. I also try re-installing the older graphic driver, but the problem...

    My 3090 hates OBS?

    I am attempting to stream at 720p and have the option to record in 1080p. Pretty simple right? For whatever reason any time I record I either get encoding overload errors or when I drag my files into premiere the auto tracks are NOT lined up. What the heck? Also, I notice when I start...
